ABSTRACT
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed via a nonenzymatic glycosylation reaction called glycation. The formation and accumulation of AGEs increases in skin with age, contributing to the appearance of facial wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. Therefore, inhibition of AGEs may delay skin aging. The microalgae Parachlorella beijerinckii has been used as a health food supplement for many years and contains carotenoids and vitamins that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Chlorella extract also has antiglycation activity. Antiglycation activity was measured using fluorescent AGEs, Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML), and Nε-(carboxymethyl) arginine (CMA) from glycated bovine serum albumin and type I collagen in vitro. A gel with a dermis-like structure consisting of collagen and a live fibroblast cell line was glycated with glyoxal. The content of fluorescent AGE, CML, and CMA, and the gel contraction activity were measured. In addition, to investigate the level of inflammation induced by the glycation of the collagen gel, the expression level of the receptor for AGEs and interleukin-8 were examined. Fat-solubleChlorella extract suppressed the formation of fluorescent AGEs, CML, and CMA in both models. These results indicated that Chlorella extract directly inhibited AGE formation. The collagen gel contracted over time during culturing, whereas contraction was inhibited in the glyoxal-treated collagen gel. Chlorella extract remarkably attenuated the glyoxal-induced gel contraction. Moreover, Chlorella extract substantially decreased the fluorescent AGEs, CML, and CMA in the collagen gels with glyoxal. Glyoxal exposure increased the expression levels of interleukin-8 and receptor for AGE proteins in collagen gels, while Chlorella extract inhibited this increase. This study showed that fat-solubleChlorella extract has a direct inhibitory effect on AGEs and decreases receptor expression for AGE-mediated inflammation by reducing AGEs. Chlorella may delay skin aging by inhibiting the formation and accumulation of AGEs.
